Front filler neck extension delete?

[lskeeney]

Has anyone deleted the front filler neck extension? I understand it would take some minor fabrication, but if you don't use an aux tank then I don't see a need for it. I would like the cleaner look of the passenger side for the driver side.

I got rid of the aux tank and modified the filler for the main tank to inside the bed.

Wish I had thought about moving my main tank fill tube into the bed like that. Would sure been easier than what it took on the ‘77.

I like the clean look of your driver side quarter, very nice.

Thanks, it can be a minor pain to orient the gas nozzle in the correct direction when adding gas but not too big of an issue. Here is how it looks after the raptor liner.

Or there is this option. I used a flush mounted turn and pop out / screw out cap. It is a cap commonly use on motorcycle fuel tanks.

There is a couple more pictures in my build thread, page 17, post 321. Bild thread list below.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate the feedback.

I demo'd my aux tank 10 years ago having never needed the extra fuel capacity... found some scrap sheet metal to tack it into place to fill the hole with a MIG welder, a little body filler, rattle can paint, and the delete is done!
